  • Q9550 overclocked results

    I've seen quite a few people post questions inquiring about if there Quad Core processor's score is "good."

    Attached, are my benchmark results. They should serve two purposes.

    First, they'll serve as a basis for comparison. If you're wondering what hardware might improve your computer, you can get an idea by looking at what I've installed. The juxtaposition of my system, your system and your potential system will allow you to determine if your score is "good" and what the purchase of similar parts as mine, might allow you to achieve. Additionally, it will allow you to consider what better parts may offer you, if you'd like better performance than my system.

    Second, it shows overclocking capabilities of a "bleeding edge" system that is air cooled. For those of you wondering how far to push your system, or what you can do with your system, I wouldn't recommend pushing it past the limits that are listed below. Note: My system is air-cooled -- a liquid cooled system may be pushed slightly further.

    I hope this helps

    Additionally, my score fluctuates between a 2351 (lowest) and 2404 (highest). You should expect similar flucutations.
